Woven Body Damselfly Nymph
Finished Woven Body Damselfly
I like going to fly fishing shows. Recently I attended the Annual Sowbug Roundup in Mountain Home, Arkansas. The show usually occurs in late May. I have demonstrated fly tying at this show for years. It’s a chance to see old friends, make new friends, and invariably I learn something new. This year was no exception.
Bruce Whittle was there demonstrating a Woven Body Damselfly Nymph. Bruce is a Veterinarian from Trenton, Missouri. He has been tying for years but he hasn’t been to the Sowbug for a while. He specializes in tying woven body flies.He showed me a technique for imparting a swimming motion to the Damselfly Nymph.
